I am using vertx 3.7.1 and using it's webclient I want to download document(/'s) from an API.
I have to read the document as stream of bytes (just like the way apache http client gives the caller an inputstream using which we can read byte by byte or buffer of bytes), thought to leverage Buffer class in vertx stack however while debugging I found Buffer reads(buffers by design) all bytes from the underlying connection and keeps it ready and it doesnt seems to be doing streaming.
Is there a way to get hold of inputstream for streaming document bytes or did i misunderstood netty's buffer implementation in vertx.
I cannot change the tech stack, it has to be Vertx.
Any thoughts please...
